He used his incredible strength to stay still as he dangled over the edge of the rock on November 21.
He said: 'This is by far
the most dangerous stunt I've tried. The only thing that was keeping me
up was my strength - all the weights I've tried in the gym were building
up to this moment.

'My girlfriend was terrified but I was determined to get the photo.'
Candela trained for years building up for this stunt and admits that it's not for the faint-hearted.
He said: 'I'd recommend it
to anyone, it's an amazing sense of achievement. You've got to know
what you're doing though because if you fall you've had it - the drop is
too much.
'I've been doing it for
years now and love it- you only get one life so you have to live it,
there's no fun in being boring. The experience was amazing - terrifying,
but amazing.'
